Structural fabrication technology is the design, fabrication and construction of rigid support members for various applications. The technology involves the design, force analysis and simulation to obtain strong structures.
The module unit will impart in the trainee the competencies required to design and fabricate metal structures for use in diverse sector of economy. Trainees undertaking this module unit will require knowledge of engineering drawing, engineering materials, mathematics and engineering science
By the end of
the module unit the trainee
should be able to: a)
demonstrate safe working
habits in a workshop environment b) understand the working principle
of tools and equipment
used in metal structural fabrication c) acquire
knowledge and skills to design and estimate materials for a given job and task d) fabricate metal
structures to required
specification e) develop skills
and attitudes necessary
to care for and maintain
tools and equipment used in workshop
This module unit is intended to equip the trainee with necessary knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that will enable him/her to plan, start, operate and manage a personal, group, private or public enterprise effectively. It is also intended to instil in the trainee the drive necessary to venture into profit making activities.
By the end of this module unit, the trainee should be able to;-
a) Appreciate the importance of entrepreneurship.
b) Acquire entrepreneurial competencies necessary for planning, starting and managing a business
c) Demonstrate positive attitude towards self employment.
d) Portray a desire to venture into business
e) Identify viable business opportunities
f) Demonstrate entrepreneurial behaviour in planning, starting and managing a business enterprise.
g) Demonstrate creativity and innovation in their day to day business activities
h) Appreciate the role of business planning

In this book John Bird introduces electrical principles and technology through examples rather than theory - enabling students to develop a sound understanding of the principles needed by technicians in fields such as electrical engineering, electronics and telecommunications. No previous background in engineering is assumed, making this an ideal text for vocational courses at Level 2 and 3, foundation degree and introductory courses for graduates.
